Review Product ReceivedI had a little yarn left over (65 g) after making my crochet shawl so I decided to whip up a quick hat pattern for you all to use with the new Super Saver Stripes Yarn from Red Heart. For more information about this yarn, please see my Crochet Yarn Review HERE. Red Heart generously provided me free samples of this great yarn to try and as a result you have a new Free Crochet Hat Pattern – total win – win situation I think 🙂 Thank you Red Heart!

This pretty striped hat is made up of crossed double crochet stitches. This is an easy pattern and I have included photo support for the stitches (scroll to the end of the post to see these!) and the pattern is provided below in multiple sizes ranging from Preemie to Adult (and a couple extra in-between). As always with the hats I design, sizes are based on math (circumference and pi) – so check the head size of the recipient to be sure they fit into the ‘suggested’ size ranges if you have a head to check. We all know heads do not always conform to ‘standard’ sizes. I have included the head size, as well as, the finished hat size for each hat because hats need to be a bit smaller than the head they are meant to fit or else after they stretch they will no longer fit. These hats will stretch approximately 2 inches. Two hat lengths have also been included – the hat has been designed to reach the base of the earlobe and additional instructions are provided to make this hat reach mid-ear length instead. Alternately, you can make these into slouch hats, or any other length simply by adding or omitting approximately 1 round of Crossed Double Crochet for each 1/2 inch you want to increase or decrease.

    I am definitely going to make these hats for the homeless in my area. I hope I can get either Lion Brand or Red Heart to donate the yarn. We also have a Women’s shelter nearby with may children that could use the hats and some scarfs with the same pattern.

    Hi Frances, MR is magic ring. It is also called the Magic Circle or Adjustable loop. I apologize I usually include it in the abbreviations list. I will pop into the post and add it there- I must have forgotten!! If you need help to make one or would like to try my preferred way to start hats which is the double magic ring, you can see it in my video tutorial here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tLFTOm3SlqU&feature=youtu.be

    I am sure this is something simple and I should know, but what is MR that is at the beginning of each pattern? I am looking forward to using your pattern, thanks for the multiple sizes.

    I fell in love with this hat! I love how the cross double crochet stitches look, I’m definitely going to meke one! Hope it works with one colored yarn, as this pretty yarns aren’t sold where I live.

    Hi Ruth 🙂 I’m happy you will be able to put this pattern to good use! It is very kind of you to donate your time and the hats to Caps for Kids. I’m certain they appreciate each one they receive. Thank you for trying my patterns and leaving me comments. Made my day! All the best, Rhondda

    I make a lot of crossed stitch hats for my Caps for Kids group so I really appreciate all the instructions for different sizes. As you can guess, hats are needed in all sizes so this info will really come in handy. Thank you
